Abstract:
The problem of industrial pollution has increased globally at presently. Countries across the globe are
aware of the concept of sustainable implementation in industries from a local to the global level to reduce pollution.
Recent research supported this by focusing on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) rather than Multinational
Corporations (MNC). Sustainability development is a key to ensure control of the hazards and pollution in
traditional activities. In India, many SMEs are involved in manufacturing varied products and services for
customers. The auto component manufacturing sector is playing as an important role in the Indian economy by
creating numerous job opportunities. Based on this, researchers gave special attention to auto components SMEs in
sustainable development (SD) because of pollution which harms the environment. Analysis of SD is an essential
activity for industries to ensure environmental improvement. Analyzing the indicators for SD helps confirm the
development of sustainability in industries. However, analyzing the indicators for SD is a challenge for managers
and needs detailed analysis and significant effort. Indicator analysis is a vague concept for managers who lack
alternatives to evaluate SD in their industry. The aim of this present paper is to develop a set of measurement
indicators for SD from literature. This paper, with the help of discussions with experts and Decision-making Trial
and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology analyzes sustainable development indicators in the auto
components sectors. Fifteen SD indicators were considered for this study from a relevant literature background.
These SD indicators indicate the industries’ sustainable development. Based on their interest, a questionnaire for
this study was circulated among 35 leading auto components manufacturing SMEs in North India. This study will
identify the influential indicator for SD based on experts' judgments through a pairwise comparison matrix. The
results from the study clearly states that Indian auto component manufacturing industries believe that among the
fifteen listed indicators, carbon management indicator helps in measuring sustainable development. Due to this
reason, embedded or embodied carbon (SI2) indicator plays an influential role. Finally, the study concludes with
insights about the future path of sustainability performance in a developing country like India.
